how do remote teams handle meeting notes?

we’re a 40 person fully remote company spread across US, EU, and APAC.
for a while we just dropped the Zoom recording in Slack after big meetings. nobody watches a 45 minute video, so context just… doesnt transfer. tried having people write summaries after but quality depends entirely on who volunteers.
what im actually looking for:
– something that doesnt require a calendar bot invite, since half our meetings are 1-1s and that feels weird
– ideally something async folks can query instead of reading a 2000 word doc top to bottom
anyone actually solved this for a distributed team or is this just the tax we pay for being remote?
